On my system the DVD auto mounts and then tries to auto-play using
Totem. I do not need to open it from the application, it is all
automatic. (I then get a permission error, but that is different
problem, with a different workaround.)

I also do not have any entries in /etc/fstab for the dvd/cdrom drives
( never mind floppy, what year is it ;-) ) The disks still mount using
the magic of pmount, which should be standard on recent versions of
Ubuntu. What happens if you comment out those fstab entries?

> Alan, I entered "totem %m"(it was VLC as player) into where you said and I still can't play DVD's. I opened totem and the DVD section is whited out and can't be selected. I went to places, computer and I still can't mount the DVD.
